Hello, I am from western MN. I enjoy pheasant hunting, waterfowl hunting (especially goose) Ice fishing and of course whitetail hunting, never enough time however. I have a tolerant wife who allows me to "collect" firearms and she even joins in at the range once in a while. I handload metallic cartridges and I may enjoy that more than any other aspect of shooting.
My Dad is a retired biologist (worked for U.S. Fish and Wildlife) so I had it great as a kid, lots of really nice outdoor time and I might have even accidentally learned a few things.
Anyway I have enjoyed reading this board for a long time...enough lurking....
Good Day to all!
